"I can't live here long. I was displaced in 1990, and settled in Vanni till 2002. I have come back in 2002, after the Ceasefire Agreement was signed between the then Government of Sri Lanka and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil eelam. My husband is ill. I have no income. I have three daughters, who are still studying. I am expecting my other child in June" says thiry year old Vijayalakshmi Shakthivel
